I need some basic stuff:

Is pelican the best source? Any suggestions?

The local foreign autoparts place seems to carry all of the basic stuff.

I got all of my tuneup stuff from Pelican. Their prices seemed competitive and I wanted to stay all Bosch.

Go to your local German auto parts place, they have a lot of what you will need. There is Performance Products, Auto Atlanta and Pelican for the rest. I have only purchased from Performance products a couple of times and got excellent service from them.

We've bought stuff from Performance Products and Mid American Motorworks. Both places had great service (though I liked Performance better) plus Performace sends 5 or 10% coupons every season. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

Vertex is cheap, but I can't say they're the best.
